120. Method No. 1 Destruction by Demolition
a. Planning for simultaneous detonation, prepare five 2-pound
charges of EXPLOSIVE, TNT (two l-pound blocks or equiva-
lent per charge together with the necessary detonating cora
Place the charges as follows:
to make up each charge).
(1) Set the first c h a r g e

nion assembly.
(2) Set the s e c o n d charge on the right front axle and trun-
nion assembly.
(3) Set the third charge
on
t h e left rear a x l e
and
trun-
nion assembly.
(4) Set the fourth charge on the right rear axle and trun-

c. Provide for
dual
priming
to
minimize
the
possibility
of
a misfire. For priming, either a nonelectric blasting cap crimped
to at least 5 feet of safety fuse (safety fuse burns at the rate
of 1 foot in approximately 4 seconds; test before using) or an

must be protected from moisture at all times. The safety fuse

be
ignited
by

or
a
match;
the

machine
or

of electricity.
C a u t i o n : Keep

Note. For the successful execution of methods of destruction involving the
use of demolition materials, all personnel concerned will be thoroughly fa-
miliar with the pertinent provisions of FM 5-25. Training and careful
planning are essential.
d. Destroy the tires by placing an incendiary grenade under
each tire. Fire the grenades. The detonation of the explosive
charges
should
be
delayed
until
the
incendiary
fires
are
well
started.
This
will
prevent

fires
from
being
extinguished
by

are
detonated.
